Bel it known that I, DAN I. FOSTER, of-.Welthamf in the eounty ofMiddlesex, :unl State of Maissnohu- Vsette, have invented certain newand useful 'Improveinentsin SuspeildingPOlznnps.; and I do herebydeclare. that the following is n full and exact description thereof',reference being had to the accompanying drawings,

:ind to the letters of reference marked thereon.

To enzrble others skilledin the zn't to ineke ond use my invention, Iwill proceed to describe its nature, con struction, and use. v

The nature of' my invention consists in making n, suspending-clampformed of two segnrentcams, hung by pivots to a. supporting-freine, andin uniting the two @inns by a. link, so that they may move together.

Drawings.

Figure 1 is an elevation of my clamp.

Figure 2 is an elevation Showing in dotted linee` a portion of thesuspended article.

I construct my dump es follows:v

A is the supporting-heme, made of my suitable mn.- terinl, :md soarranged tha-r it may be fastened readily to the wall.

.B B' nre ,segment-Gams,which are Secured to, each end ofthesupporting-nume A by pivotsd 11. y

'lo the outside edges of these ooms the link-0 is pivoted, one end tothe upper edge of B, and the other emi to the lower edge of B', so thatwhen oneof'.tli1e Cams, B', forinstalnoe, is puhed n'pto nsert'the broomor other artioleto be suspended, the othe1-loa.1n, B, vis moved 'at-themue time. e, bff :rre studsrwhi'ch serve to'preveut the-cams B B" from'dropping 'soi'zmihatzthe-fartiele torbesulspendei will not catoh betweentliemg The onlus B B are so mnde,vtha twhen,they nreV pushed up, theopening between'themwill :be wider, than when theyare down,.s0 the`broom lol'otllei;auf?' ticle rnny'beeosilyplaeedrbetween them. Thefaees of the cams may be serrated, :rsshown in Ythe drawings, sothntthe-ymay take a.' firmer hold upon the snspemled article, orthey maybeplein.l Y.

It will be seen that :my article may be readily sue-'1` pended by risngthe cams, when the extra. weight 0fthe article will cause the earns topressV harder'against it, and time hold it firmly. i
